Knitting has been called "the hot new hobby" and "the new yoga." More women - and men - are knitting today than in many decades. More knitters than ever are demanding quick projects that provide creative fulfillment and relaxation and suit today's busy lifestyles. Weekend Knitting answers their call with 50 original projects from simple slippers to cozy mittens and chair covers. Weekend Knitting Projects is beautifully photographed on locations to evoke the relaxing weekend knitters long for, with beautiful scenery, fresh air, friends, and delicious food. All of the projects are presented in full color photos and some are shown in more than one color option. The book is sprinkled with knitting trivia, quotes about knitting, relaxation techniques, and balanced living. Recipes for treats such as hot cocoa and shortbread are also included, as are sidebars about relaxation activities such as how to give a hand massage and brewing the perfect pot of tea - making Weekend Knitting the book about the knitting lifestyle.

Ok, this is the second time I have owned this book. I want to make the Union Square Poncho, and I also purchased this book again for the finger puppet instructions! Nice selection of quick projects - gloves and mitts, hats and a couple sweaters. Kinda classic designs in their simplicity.

Many of the patterns are not realistic weekend projects. But my biggest problem is the yarn is not described by weight. Most of the yarn is discontinued so a lot of research is required to find equivalent yarns. One pattern looked interesting but finding the yarn is hopeless. It was cheap or I would have given it one star.

This book is filled with easy weekend knits that cover the gamut. Sometimes with these sorts of books there are a load of scarves, gloves, socks and hats. Not with this book. It has simple sweaters, ponchos, and home wears (and of course some gloves, socks, and hats). Most of the patterns are also timeless classics.

The instructions are easy to read and follow (even for a novice). The book has lovely pictures that show you the end product from many different angles. The descriptions of non-standard stitches are amazingly clear. You'll find yourself referencing this book whenever you need a quick gift.

I originally borrowed this book from the library; but I found there were too many good patterns in it. I like the overall lay out of the book, the patterns are clear, concise and easy to read and there are patterns from baby things to household items. I am working my way through the book starting with a baby sweater. Highly recommend this little book!

I love this book. I read the one star reviews, and...well, I made the mittens as a beginner a few years ago without any problems and still use them today. Beautiful pictures and patterns (and I've used multiple patterns from this book). I even spilled orange juice on it and missed it so much I had to order another copy.

After looking through this book at the yarn store a dozen times, I finally ordered it from Amazon. It is a colorful, fun, innovative book for knitters. I've already made the flower washcloth out of cotton chenille, and the fingerless gloves out of alpaca. I can't wait to find an old chair that I can knit the chair seat out of nylon twine! The directions are thorough, the pictures large and clear, and the clever ideas have inspired me to make some other items of my own design. This hardcover book is a bargain, and a great addition to your knitting library.
